There is useful daytime load.
Commercial solar works best when the site already uses power while the sun is up: cool rooms, pumps, machinery, air conditioning, office equipment, or trading-hour demand.
Commercial solar + storage
Commercial solar starts with site load.
Recent bills or interval data, operating hours, tariff structure, roof access, switchboard path, and shutdown limits are checked before solar or Deye storage is put in scope.

Business fit
Start with the power pattern, then decide whether storage belongs in scope.
For a Melbourne business, the first useful conversation is usually simple: what is running while the sun is up, what the roof can realistically hold, and what would make the install or storage cabinet placement awkward for staff, tenants, or trading hours.
A specific first reply usually needs less than people expect.A bill, site address, operating hours, and a few notes about access or shutdown limits are enough to move beyond a generic system size.
The roof and electrical setup are understood early.
Roof material, age, access, shade, skylights, switchboard location, and export limits can change both system size and the installation method.
The install can fit around the business.
The plan should respect trading hours, staff access, site safety, shutdown limits, tenancy approvals, and any future expansion or battery pathway.
Before quoting
What we look at before recommending a system.
The aim is not to make the enquiry form feel bigger. It is to remove the guesswork that creates weak commercial quotes: oversized systems, vague savings claims, or product choices that do not match the site.
Load
Power profile
This is where the commercial case starts. A bill is useful; interval data is better when the site has larger or seasonal loads.
- Recent bill or interval data if available
- Operating hours and seasonal peaks
- Major loads such as refrigeration, pumps, machinery, HVAC, or EV charging
Site
Site and roof
A commercial quote should make the physical limits visible before product selection, especially on sheds, warehouses, and mixed-use roofs.
- Roof type, roof age, access, shade, skylights, and roof space
- Main switchboard location and any known electrical limits
- Existing solar, monitoring, or battery equipment
Operations
Commercial constraints
The best system on paper still needs to be practical for the business, landlord, staff, and install window.
- Owner-occupied, landlord approval, or property manager involvement
- Install windows, shutdown restrictions, and site safety requirements
- Future expansion, battery, backup, or tenancy plans
Where it fits
Good commercial solar often starts with everyday sites.
A smaller shed with steady pumps, a workshop with daytime tools, or a shop with refrigeration can be a better fit than a large roof with poor self-consumption. The right layout depends on how the business actually runs.
Farm sheds and workshops
Often about practical daytime load: pumps, machinery, cool rooms, tools, or site office power.
Warehouses and light industrial
Usually driven by weekday load, roof access, switchboard capacity, and monitoring expectations.
Retail and hospitality
Needs careful timing around trading hours, refrigeration, air conditioning, and disruption limits.
Offices and leased sites
The commercial case often depends on tenancy terms, meter arrangements, and approval responsibility.
Planning pathway
From first read to a quote a business can actually compare.
The aim is to make the assumptions visible before approval: load, roof, products, staging, monitoring, exclusions, and the next practical step.
First read
Bills, operating hours, tariff notes, and site goals are reviewed before system sizing.
Site reality
Roof access, electrical constraints, safety needs, and install timing are checked early.
System pathway
Panel layout, inverter capacity, monitoring, export settings, and storage-readiness are compared together.
Decision pack
The quote should show assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, monitoring access, and next steps.
Product pathway
Treat the Deye cabinet as a site decision, not a package.
Product choice depends on site size, electrical layout, export settings, monitoring, access, availability, warranty terms, and the business reason for adding storage.
Featured for sites where load, demand, resilience, and monitoring need to be reviewed together.

- Handover

Storage review file
Select the cabinet after the business case and site path are clear.
A commercial storage quote should separate confirmed facts from assumptions. Capacity, backup scope, controls, placement, and handover depend on the site.
CapacityCapacity stays model-specific.
The cabinet size and operating mode should be selected after the bill, load profile, electrical layout, and site constraints are reviewed.
PlacementThe site has to accept the cabinet.
Placement, access, ventilation, protection, cabling, switchboard path, and future maintenance need to be practical before quoting.
ControlsSolar and storage need one control story.
Panels, inverter pathway, storage controls, monitoring, export settings, and handover records should be reviewed together.
Load and tariff first
Daytime load, peak demand, tariff structure, and operating hours decide whether storage should be part of the commercial scope.
Deye cabinet fit
Cabinet location, electrical pathway, access, controls, backup expectation, and product availability are checked before the storage path is treated as suitable.
Monitoring and handover
The recommendation should explain monitoring access, operating mode, product records, warranty notes, and the support path after commissioning.
Deye is not a default package.
The cabinet path is reviewed against the commercial load, site constraints, compatibility, monitoring, and handover requirements before a recommendation is made.
Before approval
A commercial quote should be easy to question.
Before work is booked, the business should be able to see what the savings estimate is based on, what is included, what still needs checking, and how the installation will affect normal operations.
Commercial case
Savings and incentives should be checked against actual site usage rather than broad payback claims.
- Tariff, demand charges, self-consumption, and export value
- STC, LGC, or incentive assumptions under current rules
- Install scope, solar pathway, and Deye storage cabinet fit
Delivery and handover
The business should know how the work happens and what is handed over after commissioning.
- Roof access, safe work requirements, and staging
- Switchboard work, cabinet placement, shutdown windows, and site contact
- Monitoring access, product records, warranty notes, and support path
Next step
Start with the details that shape the commercial scope.
The form can start the conversation. Use the notes box for business name, site type, operating hours, storage goals, access limits, tenancy details, or shutdown restrictions.
- Business name, site postcode, and site type
- Recent bill or interval data if available
- Operating hours, major equipment, and demand or backup goals
- Roof access, tenancy, or shutdown restrictions
